Search Bread + Butter

I had a few pieces of the Guinness batter fish left over. I figured it was sandwich time. Besides I couldn't think of anything else at the time of what to make with it. Fish sandwiches are good. Beat the fillet o'fish at McDonald's right?

I paired it with some sun-dried tomatoes and lettuce leaves. A little bit of mustard and mayo on a couple slices of sourdough bread and voila. I stuck the fish in the oven for several minutes to re-crisp the crust of the batter. The mircowave would have just gotten it soft. No one likes a soggy crust on anything that's been "fried" or pan-fried. Then I pressed it on ol' georgie to get those press markes and chowed down.

To make a sandwich:
Spread a thin layer of mustard on one slice of bread and a thin layer of mayo on another. Place some lettuce, the sun dried tomato and fish on one slice of bread. Place the other slice on top.

Heat the bread in a panini press or skillet. If using a skillet, apply some pressure on top of the sandwich to give it that panini style look by using a clean plate and put a heavy can on top. Flip the sandwich to cook the other side.

Haha...like Teanna I can't get that filet-o-fish theme song out of my head. Your fish sandwich probably tastes a lot better though with the sundried tomato and sourdough! Somehow I missed your original fish and chips post so I just looked at it now - yummy!

I love fish sandwiches and yours looks awesome. Thanks for putting a real image in my head of a sandwich I can now imagine enjoying when I hear that song.

That Mickey D's song is making me crazy the same way Barney did when my daughter had an obsession with the purple dinosaur. How can a song from a product you hate so much stick to the brain like overcooked rice like that one does?
